What are /r/AntiFacebook's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

"Attack" is a strong word, it's just explaining their "privacy" policy in human terms. If you want to read about a real "attack" on Facebook (and online advertising generally), check out AdNauseum. It's a chrome extension that quietly clicks on ads in the background at random, so that advertisers are fed bogus data about the effectiveness of their ads. It was actually banned from the chrome store for being too aggro :)

> But it's free on Google unlike conversations which charges 2.45

Conversations.im is "free" in freedom as in beer on f-droid store. But it's important that people donate to pay the cost on conversations infrastucture (servers) and the developer for the work.

> Facebook hasn’t given away much detail about what could have caused the problem in the first place. The social network did, however, state that this disclosure marks the beginning of a more proactive and transparent era on its part. This seems to imply that bugs like this one have occurred before but that we just never heard about them. As we’ve seen in recent weeks, Facebook as a company isn’t very good at effective communication

Shouldn't they also be asking parents why their kids have access to their money? While I think facebook is shady if you keep your credit card in your kids iTunes account and you give the the passwords so they can use it and they do well a big chunk of that is on you. I haven't tried it yet but I like the concept behind virtual credit card service https://privacy.com/

Maybe because the only free email services are just as bad as Facebook. I'm not sure about that, but I managed to get an invite code for https://riseup.net/ because I was tired of requiring to use google's web login, complete with javascript, to login even with an email client.

With that being said, regardless of email server policies, all the ones I've used (so basically gmail and riseup) can be accessed and encrypted with your own email client, so I don't know.

> I just set up a Google News alert and then made an RSS feed from that

Don't do it like this, NO GOOGLE. Use a RSS client like quiteRSS and subscribe these feeds

I use Telegram and Signal instead of Whatsapp, F-Droid as my app store (though I admit I use ApkPure every now and then to download apps like Spotify, ProtonMail, Steam, WorkFlowy, Uber, Trip Advisor, Flud), NewPipe instead of the official Youtube app, Tinfoil for Twitter, etc.

You can find various alternatives on https://alternativeto.net/ and r/privacytoolsIO. Feel free to PM / reply here if you have any other questions.

No repo, but the post's CSS and HTML are not minified. So right click and view source away :)

The CSS is standard Tailwind CSS + this file.

Regarding your latter comment, you might want to look into going on some IRC channels then? IRC is a free online chat protocol. Check out some of the channels on freenode, if you want to talk with me I'm hanging by #cakey on freenode most of the time :)

Twitter is still centralized and proprietary, two things that inevitably lead to unjust abuses of power. Using Facebook or Twitter as a de facto standard for anything gives it power resembling that of the State. Then, it becomes political: the left wants white nationalists and rape apologists to stop harassing them. The right wants to defend their liberty to speak freely without compromise. But there doesn't have to be a compromise.

Mastodon is quite similar to Twitter, except it's decentralized and Open Source. Anyone with $10/mo and a little knowledge of webservers can start their own Mastodon instance which they have total control over. As a Mastodon instance admin, you may block users of any instances, or block communication with other instances as a whole. By default you federate with everyone. This type of network provides a platform for people to speak freely to anyone willing to listen, as well as tools for people who want a sanctuary to resist hateful or exhausting communication. It's quite a powerful tool, and I think we ought to be rejecting centralized networks in favor of decentralized networks whenever possible. Oh, and it also prevents timeline manipulation, eg psychoanalyzing a person and then intentionally putting something in front of them to persuade them to behave a certain way.

How can this even be called a VPN?

Also, I disagree with the article's end suggestion of using Private Internet Access (PIA) as a VPN company. They're based in the US, which means they could be collecting data on their servers and the NSA can gag them from telling their customers that they're doing so.

Not that hard if you take a loot at the Facebook app permissions...

For example: Phone => read call log. Or: Location => approximately and precise location. With such data it is easy to see which business you called of which physical store you've visited.
